On some club or Doc trips?Can`t bigger rubber with all round lockers be more friendly to the track?

A lot of clubs, and even tour operators limit tyre size to 33" to "limit the damage" caused from larger tyres ie rut depth.

Problem is, that a Safari on 35's will dig shallower ruts that a Hilux on 33's due to the diff clearances.

At the end of the day, get the wrong driver behind the wheel, and they will do more damage, regardless of tyre size.

Without a doubt, As long as the idiot pushing the loud pedal trys the softly, softly approach first.
If you go in soft on bigger meats, and it fails, you can just back out, then maybe try a little harder. :D
If you go in full noise, with 4 rooster tails shooting, all you do is fawk it up for the next guys :roll:
Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!
